Commitments And Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
Commitments and Contingencies | (15) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Litigation We are the subject of, or party to, a number of pending or threatened legal actions, administrative proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of our business. While many of these matters involve inherent uncertainty, we believe that the amount of the liability, if any, ultimately incurred with respect to proceedings or claims will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position as a whole or on our liquidity, capital resources or future annual results of operations. We will continue to evaluate our litigation quarterly and will establish and adjust any litigation reserves as appropriate to reflect our assessment of the then current status of litigation. Transportation and Gathering Contracts In first quarter 2015, our transportation and gathering commitments increased by approximately $52.9 million over the next nine years primarily from new firm transportation contracts. Delivery Commitments In first quarter 2015, we entered into new agreements with several pipeline companies and end users to deliver natural gas volumes from our production. The new agreements are to deliver from 1,000 Mmbtu per day to 40,000 Mmbtu per day of natural gas and the commitments are between two and five years and are expected to begin in second quarter 2015.
